Here's my take on the challenge! I made a rainbow colored layout of a joyous day we spent in an amusement park this summer. I was inspired by the colors, the paint drips, the different fonts in the text and those delicate, vellum like butterfly shapes.

Random Prize - This amazing Prize Pack from Bo Bunny!!!

The story of BoBunny Press began with a young girl named Jan Lanoy. 

She was raised in the Ozark area of Arkansas, then headed west to study art in college. 

In 1974, she married Don and packed away her paint box while she raised three sons.

As the family moved from Arkansas to Texas to Taiwan and then to Utah, 

Jan satisfied her creative side by restoring houses. 

Her children claim she can do anything with a drill and hammer!

That old paint box wasn't reopened until 1996 when, at the urging of her sister, 
Jan started designing scrapbook papers. She still vividly remember standing
 outside a local craft store in Layton, Utah, terrified to show off her first 2 designs.

Now, 16 years later, BoBunny Press is an industry leader with its innovative paper
 and embellishment lines. Starting with 2 designs in a single store, BoBunny products 
can now be found in over 39 countries around the world.

Long a favorite of card makers and scrapbookers, BoBunny papers, stickers, 
albums, brads, buttons, trinkets, jewels, ribbons, stamps and kits are always
 hot topics on consumer message boards. 

Each item still carries Jan's personal attention to detail and colour, but she's no 
longer doing it all on her own. Her team of graphic designers, each with different styles
 and expertise, help to create the variety of product lines that BoBunny is known for. 
Whether your taste is whimsical, elegant, classic or playful, there's something
 for everyone with BoBunny.

The deadline for this challenge is Saturday 30th November 2013.

Please take a moment to leave us some FEEDBACK on our REVEAL and some love for our designers, 
who contribute their time and expertise free of charge to provide this varied inspiration to you.
